Running Start

Initial Struggles: When we started high school, we faced challenges in choosing the best courses, extracurriculars, and career paths.

Middle School Stress: The pressure to compete for college admissions starts earlier than high school—it begins in middle school.

Lack of Preparation: No one really prepares you for the competition and decision-making process, making it hard to know where to start.

Running Start: This stress and confusion led us to create Running Start—a program aimed at helping middle schoolers step into high school with confidence and a clear plan for success.

Goal: Our mission is to help students avoid the overwhelm we felt, giving them the tools and guidance to succeed early on in high school.
